A blank wall in my office was staring at me for months. Taunting me. And begging for something to snazz it up a bit.
After awhile, I got tired of all that taunting and begging, so I whipped up a little freebie DIY wall art to add some personalized personality to that blank wall.
I found an old puzzle of a map of Dallas (woohoo!) in my “closet of random things” and mounted it on teal scrapbook paper in an Ikea frame that I had on hand.
Gotta love a free shout out to your hometown!

I love maps as art — all the more if the map is of a place with some personal meaning.
Very cute (and cheap!) DIY, Liz!
Very cute – and I love the table and chairs below it. I love maps and I love puzzles – this is a great idea!
Hi,
Just found your blog and I love the map idea! The table & chairs and lamp are adorable. I’m in the Ft. Worth area so it’s nice to “meet” you.
Love this idea… something that has meaning behind it!
Super cute! Great idea.
That is so cute! I love that it is your home-town as well! Love the whole idea of it!
Thanks for sharing!
